Danbury takes a stand against Internet gaming

(By Leslie Bray Evans; The Stokes News) - The Town of Danbury has taken a stand against something that is becoming popular all over the county—Internet gaming. The town council voted unanimously at their regular meeting on Wednesday, April 28, not to allow Internet gaming as a permitted use in any district of the town.

The subject had been discussed at previous town council meetings after an application had been submitted by an individual wanting to open such an establishment. The request was to use a vacant building on Main Street, which had last been occupied by Lexington State Bank, as an Internet gaming/sweepstakes café.

At the public hearing on April 28, no one spoke in favor of allowing it.
